Mei Man starts with black robe pickets

Chapter 170 Meeting
"I never heard you were coming back."

After visiting the butcher's house in person, the butcher who was lying on the sofa watching TV opened the door and said this to Roger.

Roger smiled politely at him and said:
"It's impossible for me to tell everyone that I'm back with a big fanfare, right? Well, I haven't seen you for so long, why don't you let me in?"

"If possible, I hope you can turn around and leave now..."

"Just as you agreed."

Roger pushed the butcher away talking to himself and walked into the room.

The butcher stood at the door and stared at Roger unkindly, but in the end he didn't choose to drive him away. Instead, he closed the door and went back to the sofa to continue watching his third-level movies.

Roger stared at such a butcher for a while, then suddenly said:
"You seem to have changed a lot."

"I don't think it's changed much. You came here today to see Ryan. I'm sorry. Ryan and Becca went to the amusement park on today's day off. You may have to wait until evening."

The butcher answered casually, and kept changing channels with the remote control.

Roger continued: "Why didn't you go to work today?"

"I said that today is a rest day. Do you have a problem with your comprehension?"

The butcher looked over with a grim expression. His attitude towards Roger had always been the same, even if he knew that Roger was from a parallel world.

Of course, this may also have something to do with his never believing that Roger is a person from a parallel world.

Roger, who was used to this, was not very angry. Anyway, the butcher's attitude was bad. At least he didn't greet Roger's family with foul language like before.

Since he came in, Roger has observed that the butcher has changed a lot.

First of all, the unkempt image has changed, the beard is shaved, and he is wearing ordinary home clothes, without the feeling of a butcher in a black robe at all.

Second, the way of speaking has changed.

The amount of swearing has decreased significantly. From the time he entered the door until now, the butcher hasn't said a single word starting with F. It is obvious that he has tried his best to change his image after Becca came back.

The most important point is that Roger 'saw' the physical changes in the butcher, and the butcher in front of him seemed to have possessed superpowers.

"Have you injected Compound Five?"

asked Roger.

Although most of Compound No. [-] has been destroyed, the mature technology is still preserved. If the Tek Knight thinks, he can completely produce the finished Compound No. [-].

So Roger was not very curious about the source of Compound No. [-]. On the contrary, he was curious. The butcher, who had always hated superhumans, would inject Compound No. [-] to become a superhuman on his own initiative.

"Isn't it because of your... damn Premier League, I'm honored to be the honorary chairman of your association, if I don't have super powers, what do you want me to do against those superheroes?"

The butcher obviously had the urge to curse, but in the end he swallowed the word starting with F abruptly, and complained to Roger in a bad tone.

Only then did Roger know that the members of the black-robed picket team were actually part of the newly established superhero association.

Including the butcher, the original members of the Black Robe Squad were laid off and re-employed, and once again shouldered the responsibility of dealing with superheroes, but unlike before, the Black Robe Squad now has a formal identity and responsibilities.

They don't need to make small moves in the dark. With the government behind them, the black-robed team can deal with the transhuman beings who committed crimes.

Anyway, this is their specialty and strength.

As for the person who hired the black robe members, there was no doubt that it was the Tek Knight.

There are specializations in the art industry, and if the superheroes supervise each other, it may turn into a scene of mutual protection in the end.

But if it is supervised by the black-robed team who already hates superhumans... neither Tek nor Roger thinks that the butcher will show mercy to superhumans.

It is estimated that once this guy hears some superhero black material, he will pounce on it like a carnivore smelling meat, and then prey on a badly behaved superhero until there is nothing left.

"Okay, what's your superpower?"

Roger asked curiously.

The butcher glanced at Roger and asked back: "You just came back and came to my house in person just to ask what my superpower is?"

"No, I'm just curious."

"I don't want to say, are you satisfied?"

"Well, you really have changed."

Roger said playfully.

If you were talking about the butcher in the past, when faced with Roger's persecution, he would probably say something like 'My super power is the ability to put your XX into XX and then XXX, do you want to try it' or something like that.

But now the butcher has calmed down a lot. This change even made Roger wonder if he came to the wrong world.

A butcher who doesn't swear?
This world must be a parallel universe of some black robe world.

Hearing Roger's slightly teasing words, the butcher's anger finally exploded. He slammed the remote control on the table, then turned to Roger and asked:

"You, now, tell me your purpose!"

Seeing that the butcher was about to die of anger, Roger held back the joy in his heart, and said seriously:
"I'm here to find Ryan."

"Then get lost and go to the amusement park!"

The Butcher cursed for the first time, and yelled at Roger.

But just as he cursed, the door was opened, and Huey, who came to visit, stood at the door and was stunned.

He looked at the people in the room, then at the angry butcher, and said:
"...I also said that the butcher hasn't scolded anyone for two months, so why did he make an exception today, so you're the one who came back."

"Yo, hello, Huey, it seems that you have been doing well recently?"

"Fortunately, the motherland... No, Mr. Superman, I haven't heard of you coming back."

Huey put the things he bought on the ground as if he was in his own home, and raised his head to ask Roger.

Roger shrugged and said casually: "I just came back temporarily for two days, and I will take a look at Ryan by the way."

"Ryan? Mr. Superman, aren't you from a parallel world? What do you want Ryan to do?"

Huey asked suspiciously.

Now people in the black robe world think that Roger is the superman of the parallel world, not the notorious motherlander in this world.

Therefore, the children born by the people of the motherland who did bad things have nothing to do with Roger.

As soon as Huey asked this question, the butcher said mockingly:
"You really believe he's really Superman from a shitty parallel world?"

"Butcher, you're swearing again."

"...fucking... shit!"

The butcher, who was still in a strange mood, was overwhelmed by Huey's words, and the curse words came out one after another, but in the end he still couldn't continue. In order to prevent himself from continuing to swear, the butcher simply sat on the sofa and kept silent. talk.

"He is...?"

Roger became more and more curious about this, and cast a questioning look at Huey.

Huey replied knowingly:

"Didn't he remarry with Becca, and Ryan is still his adopted son in name, but because he is an adopted son, the Minor Protection Association will come to confirm Ryan's situation every once in a while, and when he came for the first time, the association almost He didn't cancel his custody because of his swearing, so..."

"For Ryan's physical and mental development, I need to get rid of the bad habit of swearing, this is what Becca told me."

The butcher said in a gloomy tone.

"I see."

Although this place in the United States is indeed not very good, it has to be said that these various associations can indeed play their due role at certain times.

Even an invincible butcher has to change his habits in the face of periodic reviews by these associations.

Unless he wants to divorce Becca.

"But now it seems..." Huey looked at Roger with an embarrassed smile.

Roger knew that it was his own existence that caused the butcher to break his precept, so he smiled awkwardly and politely, and then said:
"Anyway, no one found out, let's not say that no one knows."

"That's right, but you still need to be more careful."

Huey said, then turned the topic back, and asked Roger: "Mr. Superman, what the butcher said just now..."

Knowing what Huey was asking, Roger hesitated and said:
"How should I put it...Although I am indeed from a parallel world, Ryan and I are indeed father and son in terms of blood relationship."

"what?"

Huey was a little confused for a while, not knowing the relationship between Roger and Ryan.

Roger didn't mean to explain in detail, so he simply said to Huey:

"Just treat me as Ryan's father in another world. No matter in blood or name, he is my son. That's all you need to understand."

"So?" the butcher asked: "You who fostered your 'cute' son with me, why do you come to see Ryan now? Want to take him away?"

Roger was silent for a long time, and replied:

"I've thought about it for a long time, Ryan...he has the same ability as me. If there is no suitable person to guide him, he may become another native of the motherland."

"Oh, I see, you don't mind putting Ryan here, right?"

The butcher said with a sneer.

Roger did not deny this at all, saying:
"Yes, I don't worry about you. After all, you don't need to tell me what you look like, you know it yourself."

The butcher didn't deny it, and Huey was also silent.

After all, anyone who is familiar with him knows what a butcher looks like. Even now, Huey would come here from time to time to see if the butcher had abused his children.

Huey didn't worry about this before, but now... the butcher is also a superhuman.

Huey even wondered if the butcher injected compound five because he was worried that he would not be able to beat Ryan and would not be able to show his dignity as a father in front of Ryan.

"Hmm...sounds like Becca and Ryan are back."

The room was quiet for a while, and Roger suddenly raised his head and looked outside and said.

Super hearing made Roger notice that Becca and Ryan had already returned from the amusement park. Although it was still far away from here, according to this progress, it would take only three to five minutes to get home.

The butcher exhaled when he heard this, and didn't continue to quarrel with Roger. He got up and said:

"Boy, come and talk to him, I'll go prepare dinner."

"It's only three o'clock in the afternoon?"

"..."

The butcher didn't speak, but just gave Huey a look.

Huey's hairs stood on end immediately, and he forced a smile to the butcher, "I understand...you can go."

The butcher went to the kitchen, and the atmosphere in the room did not seem to relax, but Roger's presence made Huey even more nervous.

After all, the lingering prestige of the former motherland is still there, and Huey and Roger are not that familiar, so it is normal to feel nervous.

On the contrary, Roger behaved quite casually, and never cared about Huey's performance at the moment.

His eyes penetrated the wall and watched Ryan who was with Becca in the distance. To be honest, Roger was not ready to be a father yet.

Although he said in his heart that he wanted to train Ryan well, so that Ryan could become the greatest fighting force besides himself, so that he could better save the world, but Roger didn't know what to do in his heart.

After all, he himself is just a salted fish, and he used to send Ryan out because he hated trouble and children.

So now Roger really doubts whether he made the right choice to meet Ryan.

Maybe it's not bad to let Ryan stay at the butcher's house. Usually, Queen Maeve or Starlight can come over to take a look, so as to avoid Ryan's detours, there is no need to bring him with him.

In such a mess of thoughts, Becca and Ryan finally walked to the door and took out the key to open the door.

Becca, who was still very happy, opened the door and saw Roger behind the door, all the happy emotions on his face faded instantly, replaced by a mixed expression of shock, fear and so on.

Roger could hear that Becca's heart rate soared to the extreme the moment he saw him. One can imagine how much fright Roger had brought to Becca.

"Why... are you here...?"

Becca looked at Roger in disbelief.

Roger stood up and took two steps towards her, but Becca's subconscious step back made him stop again. After a moment of silence, Roger replied:

"I'm here to see Ryan, don't worry, I won't do anything to you, you should know after reading the news, I'm not from the motherland, I'm Superman, I'm not John, my name is Roger."

The fact that Roger is not from the motherland is no secret in the world of black robes.

But that can only deceive people who did not know the people of the motherland, and those who are quite familiar with the people of the motherland, such as the doctor who took care of Roger since he was a child, such as this... the victim who had an intimate relationship with the people of the motherland.

They can recognize that the people in front of them are from the motherland, but their personality has changed.

But even so, the people of the motherland still left a lot of psychological shadow in Becca's heart, causing Becca to subconsciously feel fear and tension when seeing Roger now.

Compared with Becca, Ryan didn't think so much. He looked at Roger, then at his mother, and then asked his mother:

"Isn't he... the Superman on TV? Why does Mom seem to be afraid of him?"

Becca couldn't answer.

Seeing this, Roger sighed and said:
"Come in first, this is your home, what's the matter with you standing outside with Ryan, as if I'm a bad guy."
